Try this: *Don't ease the throttle, open it up. *Just as the bow begins to
lower, back off on the throttle until you have it where you want to be.
If that still takes too long, you can play with prop size, pitch, cupping
and venting. *When you get your desired result, you will may lose some top
end speed. *Prop selection is a PITA for most boat owners.

The old Century I had was the pits for getting up on plane ... when the
engine was
having a good day and it could.

I had two props of two different pitches. * I used one when I had four or
more people aboard and the other when only one or two were aboard. *That
boat was so heavy in the stern it took trim tabs fully lowered and the leg
fully tucked in plus a request for a couple of people to go forward in the
cabin to get it up on plane.
